Reaction (physics)
In classical physics, a reaction is defined by Newton's third law that can be formulated like
- Whenever one body exerts force upon a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force upon the first body or also
- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. One must never forget that these two forces are exerted on different bodies.
The idea that any given force has a pair or opposite force.
